12 Shorts Gardens is a hidden gem, just five minutes' walk from both Covent Garden Piazza and Leicester Square. This attractive and comfortable apartment is a wonderful example of Covent Garden living.
Part of a wider development, there are only three apartments in this particular section. Access is via a street entrance into the building's lobby, with a wide staircase leading to the first floor. The property is generally well maintained, although we believe an incoming purchaser may wish to update and refresh the interiors.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with storage, a bathroom, a double bedroomwith built-in wardrobes, and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with views over Shorts Gardens. The property has recently been a successful rental investment but would also make an ideal home for an owner-occupier.
Shorts Gardens is perfectly positioned for enjoying London's Theatre, Restaurant, Retail and Legal Quarters. All major Underground lines are within easy walking distance.
There is some historic water staining. The source has been investigated and addressed. Further details can be provided as can a breakdown of the service charge. We understand that some work is planned for compliance with the latest Safety/Fire regulations and we await further information.
